ok have deleted contents of temp folder, and deleted all entries manually, and via the wiki using the 4 terminal commands config/menus etc. however when i run the installer, it is still detecting a previous install, and offering modify/remove/repair. none of which do anything useful! any other suggestions or ideas most welcome, other than that, will delete those registry entries tomorrow. being as there was/is only this one program installed, google result suggests rm -rf .wine/ will this delete the whole wine folder and write a new one when i install a new windows program? or is this idea pants?
